Document background
A Business Offer Letter is a fundamental document in German business transactions, used when one company wishes to make a formal commercial proposal to another entity. It serves as an official document that, when properly structured, constitutes a binding offer under German law. The letter typically includes detailed specifications of products or services, pricing structures, delivery terms, and commercial conditions. Under German jurisdiction, particularly following the provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB) and Commercial Code (HGB), such offers must be specific and complete enough to be accepted without further clarification. The document should incorporate all essential elements required by German law to form a valid offer, including clear terms, conditions, and validity periods. Business Offer Letters are particularly important in German business culture, which values formal written communication and precise documentation of commercial intentions.
